Why am I getting married young?
So I know that this is not nursing school related, but I wanted to change the post up a little bit and get personal. Because at the end of the day, S and I are still humans and we have a life (kind of) outside of nursing school.
Not many people know this except my close friends or people that follow me on social media, but I am engaged and I am only 21. I plan on being married by 22 or 23 but there isn’t a rush. I’m not pregnant, I’m not trying to wish my life away. I just simply spent the first 20 years of my life alone and I found the inner peace that I needed to love myself. I do not feel as though we need men to complete us, but having someone to walk through the bad days with you makes life so much easier.
I don’t judge anyone for getting married early in life or for waiting until they are 50 to get married. I think that a relationship that is worthy of marriage can come along at anytime in a person’s life. Maybe you met your soulmate on the playground in first grade and you didn’t realize it until later on in life, or maybe you put your career dreams first and your finding love second. I don’t think anything is wrong with either of those options.
I hope that every one of you finds that person that makes you smile through the bad days and in my case, suffer through long distance with for two whole years. At the end of the day, you need to find what makes you happy and whether that is getting married young, getting married old, or not getting married at all. I hope you find happiness in each day because life is too short.
